Romans
8:26-28
And
the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God
wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that
cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows
what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony
with God's own will. And we know that God causes everything to work
together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His
purpose for them.
Do you have a life line, a person you always ask when you
need advice. In many cases these people in our lives are our parents. When we
need advice or help, they are the first we call, or it can be a good friend
that we had for a long time. You see as humans we need companionship. We need
somebody that we can talk to and share our feelings. I love those first few
minutes when I see my son in the afternoons, how he immediately shares the
highlights of his day followed by the things we must still buy that is
outstanding in his toy collection. The Holy Spirit forms one of the most vital
parts in our life as Christians. Jesus had to go so that God can send the Counsellor.
Jesus also said that it is better for us that He goes, meaning that we will
have so much more in the Holy Spirit. What Paul writes here just gives us that glimpse
into the work of the Holy Spirit: “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.”
And “The Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in
words.” The Holy Spirit is the one that helps us when we are bombarded by the
enemy, He is the one that tells us what to pray, and He is the one that fills
me with today reminders. If you feel that you don’t know the Holy Spirit or
that you don’t have this intimate relationship with Him, ask God to send the
Holy Spirit to you, ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with His presence and to
teach you how to understand Him and how to hear Him. He is God’s voice, but
most important is that He pleads for us. The power of the Holy Spirit is
unlimited and with Him in your life you will be able to move mountains. You
remain in my prayers.
I am surely hoping that we will get more rain down here
in South Africa.
Have a super day
filled with the Holy Spirit, friend of Jesus.
Cheers
